First Vice President Pioneer Assn


New York Tribune: The lease of
the Oregon Railway < Navigation
Company's property to the Union Pa
cifie Railway Company, through the
Medium of the Oregon Short Line
Railway. which i controlled by the
Union Pacific. Wu5 signed yesterday.
The terms OF the lease were agreed
to in November, bat many obstacles
prevented the accomplishment OF the
scheme The last one to be overcome
was the hesitation IF President Adams
of+he Union Pacific Company, in re-
gard TO a positive guaranty of the
provisions in the lease by his COM
paDy. The agreement is on the
bonds and dividends of six per cent.
on The stock for 80 years On ae-
count of legal hindrances, the lease
is made to the Oregon Short Line
Company, but the Union Paeihe
guaratees a prompt and full perfor-
nance of all the conditions OF the
covenants. It is understood that l. ).
Potter. Vice President of the Chlca-
go, Burlington anI Quincy Railroad,
has accepted the general manage
ment of the combined lines with the
rank of First Vice President, at the
earnest solicitation of the Oregon
Company. His acceptance was on
the condition that the lease should
be accomplished The Presidency
of the St. Paul road has been offered
to Mr.. Potter since the death OF Mr.
Mitchell, but the signing of the lease
yesterday prevents his acceptance"

passengers. 1t IS expected to arrive

month. The Abyssinia, the next
steamer leaves Hongkong June Both.
The Batavia, the third steamer,
leaves Hongkong July 3th.-Ledger.
The above telegram is of great
interss TO all residents of This sec
ton Of country. Within the next 80
days the first traps-cceanic steamer
on a regular line viii enter the waters
of Puget Sound. 1t is only because
of the short sighted policy of the
American governmet that it lands at
a British instead of an American port.
The United States seems to take a
perpetual delight in>being behind in
commercial matters. If we, as a
people, chose to do so We could con
troll the commerce of the world.
Why not wake up to our oppcr-
tunities.
